Declan Donnelly’s pregnant wife Ali shows off her growing baby bump as the couple enjoy a stroll in the park
DECLAN Donnelly's pregnant wife Ali Astall showed off her growing baby bump as the couple enjoyed a stroll in the park.
The Sun On Sunday exclusively revealed the couple are expecting their first child later this year.
A close source told The Sun that they wanted to keep it a secret until Ali was past the 12-week mark.
The couple, who wed in 2015, first broke the news to close friends and family, including Ant McPartlin, and Ali is expected to give birth in the Autumn.
Dec later thanked fans on Twitter for their "love" as he opened up about the pregnancy for the first time.
The 42-year-old star shared a romantic throwback from his and Ali's wedding day and wrote: "Just wanted to say thank you for all the lovely messages.
"The news has sneaked out a little earlier than we had hoped but Ali and I are delighted to be expecting our first child. Thanks for all the love, we really appreciate it ❤ D x."
Australian talent manager Ali showed off her bump in a striped T-shirt which she paired with black jeans and a matching cardigan.
Dec wore a blue polo T-shirt, navy shorts and a baseball cap as they walked their sausage dog in the park.
Meanwhile, Dec will attend the TV Baftas without Ant by his side, the seating plan has revealed.
Troubled star Ant has pulled out of TV work for the foreseeable future after he was convicted of drink-driving last month.
